A former U.S. Postal Service worker in Torrance, California, Mary Ann Magdamit, has pleaded guilty to stealing checks, debit, and credit cards from the mail over a period of at least three years. Magdamit, 31, admitted to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud on Monday (August 11). According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, Magdamit stole mail containing checks and personal information from 2022 through July 2025.
Magdamit, who worked as a letter carrier at the Torrance Main Post Office, activated the stolen cards online to make purchases and sold some to co-conspirators. She also had accomplices cash the stolen checks using counterfeit identity documents. The funds were used for international trips and luxury purchases, which she flaunted on Instagram.
In December 2024, law enforcement searched Magdamit’s apartment and seized 133 stolen credit and debit cards, 16 U.S. Department of Treasury checks, and a loaded, unserialized Glock-clone, also known as a “ghost gun.” Despite this, Magdamit continued using stolen cards, leading to her arrest on July 1. A second search of her apartment uncovered more stolen cards.
Magdamit faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison, with sentencing scheduled for October 27. The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Treasury Inspector General of Tax Administration investigated the case.
